New York Times Bestselling author Max Brooks has given me a new favorite
book, and definitely earned that title. In his story, one man collects all of
the voices of one World War, against the strongest foe fathomable. Imagine an
enemy with little to no weaknesses, which could attack in almost any terrain,
and could keep on going. Well this is the collection of stories that lived
through it and survived; what World War Z is all about. It combines all of
zombie entertainment as we know it today, and turns it into something real;
something you can really wrap your mind around and almost feel as though it is
happening. Max Brooks makes the zombie apocalypse a very scary, but realistic
possible outcome. I personally love zombies, have ever since I was younger and
playing Resident Evil on the GameCube, but this is something totally different.
It's a war novel mixed with fantasy and creatures we can only imagine in our
darkest dreams. These verbatim accounts of gripping terror take you through
life in a submarine, a downed pilot, and being stuck in space, to name just a
few. His true to earth facts would make this a plausible history novel if these
events were to actually occur. Every little detail is explored and explained,
illustrating how every culture and walk of life is affected. It amazes me how
real it feels. I actually started reading it about four months ago, and had to
stop right in the middle due to the moving process. A little over a week ago, I
picked it back up, and have been glued to it. Most stories I'll lose sight of
what's happening or my interest in it after I've set it down for a while, but
this kept me up at night and wanting more. Whether you're into war stories, or
just love that zombie gore, this book is definitely for you. Like Roger Ebert,
two thumbs up. Be ready to step into an alternate universe that's hits so close
to home, you'll be locking your doors and sharpening up that machete. ~Brittaney
